“Are you blind? Can’t you see how much the Schmidt guy cares about Allison? Can’t you see they’re growing close? Can’t you see Victor wants Allison as his daughter-in-law?”
Newton barraged him with rhetorical questions, teetering on the brink of erupting into expletives.
“Your connection with that girl from the Harper family is ambiguous. Even if you’re innocent, you should go all out to explain to Allison to prove your sincerity!”
“At times like these, you should hold on to Allison’s hand! Despite the rumors or turmoil the Harper family stirred, you mustn’t let go of her hand!”
Jeremy was against the idea of letting that occur, and he was also not inclined to stand by and observe Alyssa being with Jameson without the capacity to intervene.
“Grandpa, I did say those things, and I did do those things. You can hit me.”
Jeremy tightened his fists, his eyes turning red.
“Hit me and scold me as much as you want, then rest early. It’s time to let go of everything between me and Alyssa.”
“Let go? You want me to let go? Then what about you? Are you going to marry that improper girl from the Harper family?”
Newton’s head buzzed with anger, and only with Ben’s support did he manage to stand steadily.
“Do I have to get married? I’ve been married once, and that’s enough. I can live without marriage. I have no interest in continuing the family line, nor do I like children.”
As Jeremy spoke those words, an inexplicable ache gripped his heart with each utterance.
It wasn’t that he held any aversion toward children. Yet, the idea of not sharing the joy of parenthood with the woman he loved made the presence of children seem inconsequential to him.
He couldn’t bring himself to offer complete paternal affection to a child born out of anything other than genuine love for the mother. Such a situation wouldn’t be fair to the child.
“Why should I let go of such a wonderful girl? She will be my granddaughter-in-law as long as I’m still breathing!”
With eyes red and filled with pain, Newton slammed his cane on the ground.
“Perhaps to you, Allison is only a woman you liked. But for me, she is not only a filial child but also my savior! On that Christmas night two years ago, had it not been for Allison and her swift action in gettin to the hospital, you would have lost your grandfather by now!”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened, “I know, during that car accident, you were seriously injured, and if it weren’t Alyssa …”
“You only know that she took me to the hospital, but do you know how severe her injuries were at that
Newton was filled with grief, his eyes welling up with tears.
“I was in a coma, and none of you could rush back from abroad. The only people by my side were Allison and Ben! I had no idea then how badly Allison was hurt! Head injuries, blood everywhere… She even repeatedly instructed Ben not to tell you and me, afraid that we would worry!”
Jeremy’s pupils quivered intensely. His heart ached as he absorbed those words.
Upon hearing this, Ben remembered a moment from the past and bowed his head in sorrow.
The concealed truth within him felt suffocating. Yet, as a dedicated secretary, he faithfully maintained confidentiality, strictly following the instructions of Newton and Alyssa.
“Grandpa, is that true?” Jeremy was completely stunned.
“At this point, why would I make up such lies to fool you?”
Overwhelmed by intense emotions, Newton was unable to stand any longer and finally sank into the wheelchair.
“The sacrifices and efforts Allison made for you go far beyond your imagination. It’s much more than you realize. But in the past, you were deceived by that Gardner girl and couldn’t recognize the goodness in Allison.
“You have a debt to Allison that you won’t be able to repay in your lifetime. If she persists in being stubborn or disliking you forever, it’s your own fault. You should bear the consequences for what you’ve done!”
Newton finished speaking and pushed the wheelchair forward without looking back.
“Mr. Newton, let me take you back to your room,” Ben said anxiously.
“No need! I’m in a bad mood. Don’t bother me any of you!”
A chilling stillness gripped the atmosphere, and Jeremy felt like he almost couldn’t breathe.
“Ben, you’ve seen it for yourself. Grandpa doesn’t want to see me.”
Jeremy’s throat rolled dryly.
His voice was low and hoarse as he instructed Ben, “Tonight, I’ll stay in a hotel near Crescent Bay. Let me know if there’s any issue with Grandpa, and I’ll rush over. I won’t stay here and cause trouble for the old man. I’ll leave for now.”
“Mr. Jeremy! Wait!” Ben called out to him.
Jeremy asked, “Do you have something else to say, Ben?”
“Is it really impossible for you and Ms. Alyssa anymore?”
Jeremy felt a stab in his heart.
“I don’t know.”
“Ms. Alyssa has something on her that you don’t know.” Ben clenched his fist and struggled with the words.
Jeremy turned back with a look of intense curiosity, “What is it?”
“Ms. Alyssa made me promise to keep it a secret. I can’t say,” Ben looked conflicted.
“But I hope that Ms. Alyssa can tell you herself one day.”
Jeremy’s curiosity surged.
Alyssa initially hid her identity as the heiress of the Taylor family, devoting herself to him and loving him for 13 years.
These once-secretive matters were enough to deliver a soul-shaking impact on him.
What other secrets was she hiding from him?
Could they be even more shocking than those he already knew? 1
Two days after the amputation surgery, David woke up.
Alyssa arrived at the hospital early that day. She didn’t just finish the surgery and leave.
After all, Victor had entrusted her. She had an obligation to follow up on the subsequent treatments.
Alyssa examined David’s newly reattached left leg in the hospital ward with two attending physicians.
His right leg had already been replaced with a prosthetic.
“My legs… My legs…” David cried desolately with a bleak expression, but the tears wouldn’t come anymore. “I’m done… My life is over!”
Newton was filled with grief, his eyes welling up with tears.
